Both Accrington Stanley and Portsmouth are itching for points in this game, in spite of the away side carrying a 8 point advantage so far this season.
- Accrington Stanley have the fewest scored goals in the first half (4) in League One
- Portsmouth haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Accrington Stanley form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the League One this season. Accrington Stanley have only managed 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Wham Stadium.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Accrington Stanley, who played 1-1 against Oxford United. That match was also played at this venue (Wham Stadium). Midfielder Coyle was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.42 (out of ten) in that game. Coyle hit one key pass.
Before that game, a home win hosting Barnet in the FA Cup.
The manager Coleman will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Burton Albion in only three days.
Accrington are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 10 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.
